I am writing here about my experience of Cheating in the Autos of Bangalore.
Last Month, I was coming from Tirupathi and I had to catch this Janashatabdi Train from Bangalore City Junction very early in the morning. Unfortunately the APSRTC Bus was Only upto Shanthinagar Bus Stand. Being unaware of Buses, we decided to go by Auto at around 4.30 AM. The Auto driver said he will charge double-of-meter Reading. Trusting the Meter we agreed him.
While the Google maps show the Distance between Shanthinagar BS and Bangalore City as 5.1...
more... Km, the Meter showed around 8.5KM. While the Meter reading was 92 rupees, the Autodriver charged Rs.220/- saying the Meter reading was as per Old Charges and new charges are as per the Chart which he showed us.
I believe that this is cheating. Cheating in Autos of Bangalore and Chennai was very often heard by me and this time experienced the same.
If there had been Buses, I wished I could go by them rather than spending so much on the Autos.
